Omaha's City Council has approved $1.5 million in funding for construction at the intersection of 90th and Maple streets.

The improvements approved Tuesday include dual left-turn lanes from all directions and the addition of an eastbound right-turn lane.

City Council President Pete Festersen said it's an important project that will improve the safety and capacity of that intersection. Since it's a safety project, 90 percent of the project costs will be covered with federal money.

Construction is set to begin April 20, and completion is expected by early October.
